It's not using linemode. It is doing character-by-character. Why do you
think it's linemode? Are you accessing an IBM mainframe? If you are
seeing linemode behavior, probably it's the server, not Kermit, that's
doing it.

My error. I decoded one of telnet's commands incorrectly in the trace.

I generated a script file which enabled me to disable some of the telnet
options which was causing login problems.

My only other question is:
Is there a way to have the dialer use the modifed script file (since
there
are no GUI for disabling these options) or is the script only one way
(i.e. dialer generates script file which one must use from then on)?

You can get a pre-decoded trace by using Kermit's SET TELNET DEBUG ON.

Right click on the Dialer entry, choose Edit, then choose the Keyboard dialog.
In the text box, put any commands you want. These will be executed after
the other commands in the Dialer script. That way you can undo unwanted
settings, add new ones, whatever you want.

Another method would be to save the Dialer script to a file (using the
Short toolbar button), then edit the file, and then instead of using the
Dialer to launch the connection, just double-click on the script, or any
shortcut to it.

Since the Dialer is just a script writer, you can bypass it altogether, and
write your own script containing exactly the commands you want. Call it
xxx.ksc, where xxx is any name of your choice, but the filetype has to be
".ksc", which is associated with K95. Double click on the script or any
shortcut to it to launch the connection (or do anything else the script
might do.)
